Coins minted at the United States Mint in Philadelphia

The United States Mint American Innovation $1 Coin Program is a multi-year series honoring innovation and innovators with $1 coins from each state, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Northern Mariana Islands. The American Innovation $1 Coins in the rolls and bags were minted at the Philadelphia and Denver Mints. The Wisconsin coin is the second of 2026.

The Wisconsin American Innovation $1 Coin reverse (tails) design features the Cray-1, the first commercially successful supercomputer. Built from 1976 – 1982, it was known as the world’s fastest computer. The Cray-1’s unique circular design helped increase the speeds at which signals travel from one part of the computer to the other. This design exhibits a stylized aerial view of the Cray-1 supercomputer. The image emphasizes the Cray-1 not only through its shape, but by also suggesting the shape of a “C” for Cray-1 and “computer.” Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “WISCONSIN.” The additional inscription is “CRAY-1 SUPERCOMPUTER.”

The obverse (heads) design features a dramatic representation of the Statue of Liberty in profile with the inscriptions “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “$1.” The design also includes a privy mark of a stylized gear, representing industry and innovation. In 2026, the privy mark will also incorporate a Liberty Bell with the inscription “250” to commemorate the semiquincentennial of our Nation’s founding.

This American Innovation $1 Coin Bag – Wisconsin contains 100 circulating quality coins minted at the Philadelphia Mint.
